EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century oil on canvas portrait captures the enchanting presence of Jean-Baptiste-Sauveur Gavaudan (1772-1840), a renowned French opera singer of the Comédie-Italienne and Opera-Comique. Painted by the distinguished artist Henri-Francois Riesener around 1799, the portrait showcases the elegance and sophistication of the era. Gavaudan is depicted in a three-quarter view, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. He wears a red waistcoat, a white shirt with frilled cuffs, and a cravat adorned with a bow. His posture is confident and poised, with one hand resting on his chest, as if to emphasize his vocal prowess. His gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting a moment of introspection or perhaps a recollection of a past performance. The portrait is a prime example of Neoclassical art, with its use of muted colors and attention to detail. The background is simple, with a subtle texture that complements the subject's richly colored outfit. The painting is currently housed in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, a renowned institution dedicated to the history of the city. Henri-Francois Riesener was a prolific artist of the time, known for his portraits of notable figures from the world of entertainment, politics, and society. This portrait of Jean-Baptiste-Sauveur Gavaudan is a testament to his skill and the enduring allure of the 18th century.
